Reading Intervention for K-12

GRADES 4-12 READING INTERVENTION

If students are struggling with reading past third grade, they need reading instruction that goes deeper. Reading Horizons Elevate was created to help you pinpoint and address the root of each student's reading problems—so they can see a lift in their reading skills.

"As a young student, I didn't learn to read this way, and as an educator, I didn't learn to teach this way, but after using Reading Horizons for a year, I have seen my students gain in ways that I never imagined to be possible." - Judy Barton | Collier County Public Schools, Naples, FL

"The program has instilled a confidence that I have not seen with my students before, they now volunteer to read in class. Reading Horizons has helped them not just with reading, but with everything." - JaLynn Tuckett | Raft River Elementary, Malta, Idaho

"I’ve tutored many children with this fantastic reading skills program, and I have nothing but great things to say about Reading Horizons. It works for hundreds of children here in the Charlotte area." - Evelyn Mack | Evelyn Mack Academy, Charlotte, North Carolina

What is the Reading Horizons Approach to Reading Intervention?

Learn how our approach can help intervention students thrive:

Simple, Streamlined Reading Instruction

Reading Horizons empowers teachers and students with a simple, streamlined approach to reading intervention. By teaching the following concepts, students are provided with a framework that allows them to read the majority of words in the English language:

42 Sounds of the Alphabet

5 Phonetic Skills

2 Decoding Skills

Students learn these skills through an explicit, systematic, and multi-sensory approach based on Orton-Gillingham principles of instruction.

Why Does it Work for Intervention Students?

Because the core of Reading Horizons framework only requires students to remember seven rules that can be applied to the majority of words in the English language, it is easy for students to remember. This, paired with the multi-sensory nature of the program, is the reason students with learning disabilities and special needs, as well as ESL students, can grasp the program more readily than alternative interventions.

The number of decoding rules is significantly lower than even the closest competitive product - making it the most accessible to at-risk students.

Students master these skills through a blend of software and direct instruction. The software allows students to receive independent, data-driven, differentiated reading instruction that continuously adapts to each student’s individual needs. The direct instruction materials make it easy for teachers to implement high-engagement multi-sensory reading instruction into the classroom.

Decoding Skills: A Means To An End

Reading Horizons focus on decoding is not an end in itself. Rather, decoding skills create a foundation so your students will easily master more advanced reading skills. While learning this framework, exercises are layered in to build vocabulary, spelling, grammar, fluency, and comprehension skills.

How Effective is our Approach?

Upon completing the Reading Horizons program, most intervention students gain 2-3 reading levels. These students are able to experience success for the first time, and their future is expanded.
